***Official Political Discussion Thread***

No matter who wins the Presidency, I always like to see the opposing party win the senate so if the President is the same party affiliation as the Senate he can just push through whatever B.S he wants... as corrupt as it is, it's the closest "real" thing to bipartisan.. 

familiarize yourself with the term filibuster. the republicans have used it 400 times during the past 4 years.

 

[david bowman]

A bunch of results too early to call including that moron Todd akin somehow SMH.

How can he win?

 

[savannah leigh]

aahhh im so nervous. I just want the results to come in already

 

[rarefiedair24]

Damn, Obama just went hard on then new projections

All the projections had Obama at 230ish electoral votes to Romney's 206.. It'll come down to 4/5 states.. FLA, OH, PA and VA.. 

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Looks like incumbents are trending as the projected winners in the senate races so far...

I am very familiar with it.. again, I said it wasn't PERFECT.. please, reread my comment..

Because there are some legitimate idiots that agreed with him, or thought what he said was no big deal

Barack cleaning up the northeast and mid atlantic, hope my fellow PA voters come through

Looks much closer than I anticipated it to be.

 

[david bowman]

Damn Obama only up 50 K in early voting in Florida. Not good

It sounds like we are going to be 2000 status tonight

SBNation tweet had me

"Obama goes on a wild 61-7 run and suddenly leads Romney, 64-40, per CNN. Romney takes a TO--can they rebound?"

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Barry has Florida so far in a razor thin margin...Still unofficial though...

 

[rillo561]

Florida looking good for the Democrats.

 

[rosegoldsluggs]

What station yall watching this on?

please reconcile for me the purpose of a filibuster and 'if a President is the same party affiliation as the Senate he can just pass through whatever B.S. he wants...'

they fly in the face of each other and the reality of the filibuster in the present-day senate would explain why obama has had a tough time pushing anything through capitol hill. again, i repeat: 400+ filibusters in the senate in the past 4 years.

If Bush couldn't win PA, Romney won't win it either.

 

[lyonbc1]

I think CNN has the best all around *shrug* They have the numbers on lock and better analysis of the presincts...

 

[Jordan8]

America has really changed the last 8 years. How is Florida voting blue?

I thought that for a second lol.

Oh I agree, I thought it wouldn't be close though.

I also have Obama getting Florida too.

 

[sreggie101]

[bless]

Barack just took over haha.

 

[sammy863dade]

WOW...i bet this was in the SOUTH

GEORGIA

 

[trilluminated]

georgia 

obviously i'm not surprised though.

 

[utvol23]

All these numbers coming in now with either Romney having a big electoral lead and then Obama having a big lead means nothing. There are only a few states that matter.
